texasdago Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I just posted something on my rarely updated Memorial Bend blog about Atomic Ranch Magazine's recent visit to Houston. They photographed three houses in Memorial Bend, one in Simms Woods and one in Ayrshire. The houses will eventually be included in an article on Houston... http://www.archibend.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rps324 Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Was the house in Ayrshire the same one that hosted the docent party following the RDA tour? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasdago Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 It was the Lantz house... ENTERArchitecture won an award from PaperCity for the work they did in restoring the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowisp Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 That is fantastic news! Can't wait to read it. I love that magazine, but it gets a little tiresome reading about SoCal so much of the time...JasonIt was the Lantz house...

I do know that besides Houston, the recently went to Denver for a photo shoot. The best way for SoCal not to dominate their pages is to give them content from other states. Personally, I love the architecture in SoCal so it doesn't bother me but I agree a mix is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowisp Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Thanks a lot! We'll make sure that this is not their only trip to Houston. Once the word gets out about this cool magazine it won't be quite so regional. It's just a matter of covering their home territory and making a name for themselves until the rest of the nation starts to notice and subscribe and send in more ideas to them. I love their magazine and I'm proud that we've got some appreciation coming our way in Houston from them.JasonJason,Once your house is restored, you should really send them a picture for their Home Page section.The issue is that they publish the content they have... if the only people who share photographs and stories with them are from SoCal, that's what they'll publish.

texasdago Posted June 19, 2005 Author Share Posted June 19, 2005 You nailed it... they have so much to choose from in their own backyard that publishing all the SoCal content enabled them to make a splash. To me, the positive aspect of their trip is that it should provide some good publicity for the often-maligned Space City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Great news to see Houston get atttention in this area. I would like to see more mid-century commercial architecture as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdude Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 Another nice local example of mid-century revival is the Fox television station on Westpark near Newcastle. It always reminds me of a 1950s airport. Also, there is a small office building on Montrose a little south of Alabama that was updated a couple years back in a modern style that is very nice. Btw the chair in that magazine cover is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willowisp Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 There's a very cool office space just inside the loop on Richmond near the RR tracks that just went up. It's all glass and so far it's unoccupied. Jason Another nice local example of mid-century revival is the Fox television station on Westpark near Newcastle. It always reminds me of a 1950s airport.
